Quality Management

Rivo Quality Management Solution Layer enables you to embed quality management standards throughout every process in your business, to capture and analyse activity, inefficiencies and non-conformances.

Rivo enables organisations to manage the whole quality management process from start to finish, from capturing relevant regulatory and legislative information, supporting controlled documentation, carrying out inspections and assessments, identifying non-conformances and managing the resulting corrective actions through to completion. Rivo Analytics provides a full breadth of reporting by location or quality attribute to channel resources to the areas in the business falling short of the required standards.

National Oilwell Varco (NOV) is a global market leader in the engineering of solutions for oil and gas drilling. They supply equipment to the biggest operators in the industry from their headquarters in Aberdeen and associated plants in USA, Brazil, Canada, Holland, Dubai, Singapore, Australia, Russia and Norway. They have over 800 employees and revenues exceed £170m.

Rivo was asked by NOV to provide a risk management system spanning safety and quality management. An additional key requirement was a system for defect management incorporating quality non-conformances, defect logging, auditing, root cause analysis and investigation plus management of all associated documentation.

Rivo gives NOV centralised management reports of all defects across the business and is integrated with their internal parts management system, bringing through detail of costings and supplier details – closing the loop on the quality management process.
